Why TGC did not #FreeJamesCoates?

In this episode we discuss something that has been grinding Matt’s gears. We discuss the crisis of Pastors in jail in Canada and Christians feeling flatfooted. Restless takes the bold stand that we need to start working hard to understand the biblical relationship between the church and state.

The Restless podcast wonders why TGC doesn’t use its influence to support the Pastors who have been imprisoned in Canada for violating health orders to gather as church over the last year. We hopefully leave you with a few biblical foundations as a starting placebo think through this issue yourself.

If Matt’s voice sounded off its because later that week he tested positive for Covid-19. Don’t worry he is ok and this episode was not a super spreader event.
